CHICAGO - July 13, 2020 - PRLog -- Qlarity Imaging, a leading diagnostic artificial intelligence (AI) company that developed QuantX, the first U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-cleared computer-aided diagnosis software for breast MRI analysis, and Ikonopedia, creators of the first and only cloud-based structured breast reporting and risk assessment system designed to dramatically improve reporting efficiency and optimize facility operations, today announced their partnership to advance breast cancer diagnosis and reporting. The collaboration leverages next-generation technologies to provide an integrated software solution that increases accuracy and optimizes workflows for radiologists performing breast MRI evaluations.

"By combining our proven diagnostic AI technology with Ikonopedia's powerful reporting software, we are strengthening and enhancing the tools available for the diagnosis of breast cancer," said Qlarity Imaging Chief Executive Officer Jon DeVries. "Creating a streamlined workflow that delivers more accurate diagnoses, reduces the risk of reporting errors, and saves time can help radiologists overcome challenges associated with ever growing exam volume and data complexity—which are intensifying in today's environment—to improve patient care."

A key partnership component is the seamless integration of data-driven analysis from QuantX into Ikonopedia's closed-loop structured breast reporting system. Instead of typing or dictating results into the reporting application, the location, size, kinetics, and QuantX score are automatically transferred into Ikonopedia. The auto-population of lesion-specific details helps increase accuracy by reducing the risk of errors caused by manual entry and boosts productivity. While integrating the diagnostic and reporting workflow can yield efficiency gains and cost savings for radiologists and health systems, the most critical benefit is felt by patients where increased accuracy can lead to earlier detection of breast cancer.
"Our partnership with Qlarity Imaging is a natural progression as we are both leading technology innovators in the breast imaging space," said Ikonopedia Chief Executive Officer Emily Crane. "We also share the ultimate goal of improving patient care to help more women become breast cancer survivors; a goal we are one step closer to achieving."
